The Night Sky

One day i will beBack in our old streetSafe from the noise that'sFalling around me

And we'll release this town from the peopleWho are trying to knock it downAnd then only city lights will brighten the night skyAnd there will be no sound

Open the bars andOpen the marketsOpen the banks andOpen the churches

And we'll release this town from the peopleWho are trying to knock it downAnd then only city lights will brighten the night skyAnd there will be no sound

We've been cowering so longOh what i would givei'm so little,but oh what i will giveTo stand at the bus stopOr browse in a bookshopTo sleep and always be still

And we'll release this town from the peopleWho are trying to knock it downAnd then only city lights will brighten the night skyAnd i will be set free from the peopleWho are trying to bury meAnd then only fireworks will light the sky at nightFor all the world can see
